SUSTAINABLE EXHIBITING: Not only will your exhibits look great, but they will also enhance your environmental reputation. Prestige displays are clean-process to build, use smaller transport to get to the site, and because they are reusable, can be efficiently reused any number of times. Sustainable Exhibiting

PORTABLE EXHIBITION STANDS: Many trade show stands are difficult to distribute and store. Even larger stands created in the Prestige Events System can be transported in an estate car or small van. This reinforces the ease-of-use and sustainability benefits of your exhibition stand. Portable Displays

MODULAR EXHIBITION STANDS: Our exhibition solution – the Prestige Events System – is the only modular solution capable of forming professional, custom-designed exhibits, that are reconfigurable and reusable in different stand space, making it the No. 1 reconfigurable solution. Modular Exhibition Stands

Buying Exhibition Stands – Tips & Advice

For most exhibitors, trade shows are only part of their marketing activities.

And when buying any complex and highly specified product and service, it’s easy to end up going down the wrong route.

We attempt here to assist in dispelling some of the more common misunderstandings about exhibiting.

1. Exhibition Stand or Display?
Be careful what you’re buying. Display systems, banner displays or truss systems are not really exhibition stands in the true sense. You may be wasting your money on a cheap, limited solution that won’t show your company in its best light.

2. Modular or Custom?
Custom trade-show booths are great if you have an unlimited budget and don’t mind having to re-invent the wheel every time you exhibit. Modular allows exhibitors to reconfigure and reuse across a series of events. However, many modular solutions are cheap-looking and are not up to standard.

3. What are Custom-Modular stands?
A term that has become popular in recent years; mean an exhibition stand system that can create a custom-designed look, yet is modular and reusable in different stand space, like our Prestige Events System.

4. Are self build exhibits a good idea?
Only if you have people with the skill and inclinations to take on the logistics and installation. Self-managing your stands can save you money while giving you the freedom to exhibit more frequently.

5. Shell-scheme space or space-only?
Shell-scheme is more expensive per square metre, but you get basic walls, lighting and carpet included. Most shell-scheme is a smaller space, generally up to about 24 sq.metres. ‘Space-only’ sites are as the title suggests; a chalked out area within the exhibition hall, within which you build your exhibition stands.

6. How much are exhibition stands?
The price depends on quality, size of the stand, complexity of the design, location of the venue and the credentials and experience of your design and build contractor. Remember, your own company would not sell its premium products or services ‘cheap as chips’ so why would your trade show designers? Have a look at our price guide for more information.

7. Is hiring my stand a cheap option?
Contractors that offer hire exhibits fall into two camps. Many regard their rental service as the bargain-basement part of their business. The materials these companies will use for your stand will be worn and scratched; their service levels poor and inadequate for a professional result. Other contractors such as Quadrant2Design treat their hire exhibition stands as their Premier Service, with correspondingly high levels of quality and service.

 

Exhibition Stand Glossary

Some of the terminology surrounding shows and conferences can be confusing. Here we translate some most misunderstood terms and phrases associated with corporate events and the meetings industry.

Shell-scheme: These are the rows of exhibiting booths seen at most shows, usually built from an aluminium modular system called Octanorm. These booths come in an assortment of different sizes and configurations, generally between 6 to 24 square metres in size.

Space-only: In contrast to shell-scheme, space-only is as the name suggests, simply a chalked out area in the exhibition venue. Within this space, exhibitors build or have built, their display or exhibition stand.

Build-Up: This is the time period allowed by the Show Organisers, to build the exhibition stands within the venue.

Break-Down: The period allowed after the show is finished for exhibitors and contractors to dismantle and remove all displays and materials.

Exhibition Rigging: The attaching, be specialist show contractors, of any display or lighting rig from the venues roof structure.

Banner Displays: Wide range of cheap banner type solutions are available, including Roller-Banners, Fabric Banners and Tensioned Banner Systems. Typical price range: £50.00 to £150.00.

Fabric Displays: For small scale displays, Fabric Stands are popular. Extremely lightweight, seamless and portable, available in different widths and styles.

iPad Display Stands: With so many show exhibitors using iPad and Tablet devices on their exhibition stands, a whole wide range of display stands have been created for these displays, costing from £99.00 up to £350.00.

Shell Scheme Graphics: Many exhibition companies will supply large-format graphic panels, to fit into the shell scheme booth, at prices of around £150.00 per graphic.

 

Trade Show: Term used in the United States to describe what Europeans would call an exhibition or show.

Exhibition Booth: Another US term, for what Europeans call an exhibition stand. Not to be confused with a shell-scheme booth.

Island Site: A term used for a space-only site with 4 open sides, allowing the exhibition stand to be viewed from any angle.

Project Management: In exhibiting terms, this describes the process of managing the design development of a trade-show exhibit, the manufacture of the exhibition stand and graphics, the processing of show and organiser administration and the installation on-site at the venue.

Organiser: In the event industry, this denotes the company or organisation who mounts, or ‘organises’ a show, or a suite of shows.

Pop Up Exhibition Stands: Pop-up displays are the simple curved graphic structures used extensively as a cheap, easily setup small display. These stands suit newcomers to exhibitions who want something that’s portable and quick to build. Typical prices are from £599.00 to £1750.00.

Velcro-Friendly Display Boards: Often available as 6 Panel Displays or 8 Panel Displays, these are fabric (velcro-receptive) panels in set configurations.

Literature Stands: Available as wall-mounted, portable or semi-permanent literature displays, in prices from as low as £45.00 up to around £250.00.

Hire Exhibit Furniture: Exhibition stand furniture hire is usually supplied at shows by the Organiser appointed contractor.

H K Wentworth exhibiting at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2020 | Quadrant2Design Review

H K Wentworth

Morning,

All good thank you – hope you are too?

Southern Manufacturing was very successful for us and the Quadrant experience predictably very slick and smooth. I believe that our commercial director arrived just as your guys were around 10 minutes away from completing the build. We had several comments on the stand (I think that the blue livery works particularly well) and we made the best use of an island stand (not always the easiest task!).

Many thanks for all your support.

thank you
Kind regards

FRSH Scents exhibiting at Spring Fair 2020 | Quadrant2Design Review

FRSH Scents

Hi Wiebke,

Thanks for getting in touch!

That stand looked absolutely brilliant and was put together much with a much cleaner look behind the scenes (cables and store area behind) than we managed ourselves at the last show.

The guys who constructed it were really nice and very helpful when we met them.

Vicky has been there to answer every question through out the process which has been much appreciated by the team.

Kind regards
